Preparing
the Mower
1. Remove the mower from tractor; refer to
Removing the Mower, in Mower Operators

2. Thoroughly clean the mower. All debris must be
removed to ensure that the baffles and kickers
will fit properly against cutting chamber.
3. Tip the mower upside down and block up the
ends to ease installation of the
Recycler
baffle.
IMPORTANT: There are bolts (washers and
locknuts) installed in some of the open holes
of the cutter deck for safety. Remove this
hardware if the hole is needed for installation
of the Recycler
kit. Save these fasteners and
reinstall them in the same open holes when
any portion of the Recycler
kit is removed.
